We studied whether gene flow between two closely related sedge species influences regional differences. Our molecular genetic data … Continue reading
New paper published – Despite admixing two closely related Carex species differ in their regional morphological differentiation
Text and pics by Lisanna Schmidt Researchers from Estonia and Switzerland studied regional morphological differentiation of two closely related hybridising (and “taxonomically difficult”) species – Carex flava and Carex viridula. We asked whether due to genetic admixing of the two … Continue reading
